Argentina is set to face Venezuela in a World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Monumental tomorrow, Friday, at 5:00 AM Bangladesh time. This match holds special significance as it will be Lionel Messi’s final appearance in Argentina’s jersey on home soil. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will be joined by his entire family for this momentous occasion, with the Albiceleste determined to secure a victory.

In a press conference, Argentina’s coach Lionel Scaloni, a former teammate of Messi and the mastermind behind their 2022 World Cup triumph, became emotional while reflecting on Messi’s legacy and his own future. Scaloni, visibly moved, described Messi as irreplaceable, stating that finding a successor to the legendary star is impossible.

**Tearful Scaloni Reflects on Messi’s Legacy and His Own Future** When asked if this would indeed be Messi’s final home match in the World Cup qualifiers, Scaloni said, “We spoke when he (Messi) arrived, but not about this match. What he has already said about it is the final word. I won’t add anything more. According to Leo, this will be a special match, emotional and beautiful. If this is truly his last World Cup qualifier here, we must enjoy it. I’ll be the first to do so. Having him is a joy for us. I hope people fill the stadium, and he enjoys it too, because he deserves it.”

With 16 matches played in the World Cup qualifiers, Argentina leads the standings with 35 points, having already secured their spot in the tournament. Ecuador and Brazil follow with 25 points each, with Ecuador ahead on goal difference.
